WHY JAMIE FOXX KEEPS KATIE HOLMES ON THE DOWN LOW

Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes have been dating for four years, but have only been seen in public together a few times.

And while the Oscar winner has been known to leave an interview if Holmes is brought up, there’s a new report claiming the elusive duo have a pact to never mention the other in public.

“Katie and Jamie have an agreement that they’ll never talk about their relationship or each other in the press,” a source close to Tom Cruise‘s ex-wife told Us Weekly.

Which explains why Foxx abruptly ended an ESPN interview in February when his relationship was mentioned and why he deflected a photographer’s questioning of Holmes by joking: “It’s Black History Month. No white girls until March 1.”

But if you think that Holmes is upset that Foxx is keeping their romance a secret you’d be mistaken.

The magazine’s source added: “She felt he was respecting their agreement.” Is this a romance or a business transaction?!
